Assignment Instructions
Find two references that reflect responsible development and deployment principles written by corporations or organizations such as these. You may use ONE of the following but not both (e.g., use one of the following and find one new reference OR find two new references):
- Principles for Accountable Algorithms and a Social Impact Statement for Algorithms
; Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency in Machine Learning (FAT/ML) - Microsoft’s Approach to Responsible AI
, v2; GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTERNAL RELEASE; June 2022
;
Drawing from the two readings you selected and your own understanding of the topic, respond to the following prompt in a position paper/editorial between 500 and 700 words (not including title, in-text citations, or end-of-paper references). Longer does not necessarily mean better. This should be about two pages double-spaced with normal font and margins. Be sure to include a title. Do not include an abstract. Even though this is a short paper, you should include:
- An introduction [12 paragraph(s) establishing the issue/controversy’s importance and defining responsible AI]
- A substantive body of the paper (several paragraphs, response(s) to the question below, including specific principles or recommendations)
- A brief conclusion (one paragraph that summarizes your position and reiterates the importance of the issue, plus one sentence, likely at the beginning or end of the concluding paragraph)
- Proper APA citations and referencing (full list of references on a separate page after the main body of the paper)
As AI systems increasingly affect various aspects of our daily lives, how should designers, developers, and policymakers approach the creation of responsible AI? Highlight specific principles or recommendations you think are critical.
Compile your essay response and ensure it adheres to the guidelines for organization. Double-space your submission, with the title and your name in bold at the top. After the last line of your main body of text, enter the word count of the main text (see example below for this paragraph). To do this, select the main body of text (not title or end-of-paper references); the word count will appear in the bottom-left of the screen, if you are using MS Word. (Do not include in-text citations for the word count.)
